Which side of the plane to sit from Bardufoss Airport (Bardufoss) to Oslo Lufthavn (Oslo)?

Our Recommendation
9.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior panoramic view of the dramatic coastal mountain ranges of Nordland, the massive Svartisen glacier, and the majestic peaks of Jotunheimen as the flight progresses south.

Right Side Highlights
9.2
🧊

Svartisen Glacier

Stunning views of Norway's second-largest glacier, visible shortly after reaching cruising altitude over Nordland.

🏔️

Jotunheimen National Park

Exceptional vistas of Northern Europe's highest peaks, including Galdhøpiggen and Glittertind.

🏞️

Lake Mjøsa

A grand view of Norway's largest lake and the fertile agricultural lands of Stange and Ringsaker during descent.

🌊

Helgeland Coast

Breathtaking glimpses of the rugged coastline and the countless islands that dot the Norwegian Sea to the west.

The right side is a must for mountain lovers. For the best views of Svartisen and Jotunheimen, ensure your seat is either forward or aft of the wing. During winter, the low-angle sun illuminates the snow-capped peaks in vibrant pink and orange hues, making afternoon flights especially spectacular.

Left Side Highlights

🇸🇪

Swedish Border Peaks

Distant views of the high alpine terrain near Abisko and the Kebnekaise massif along the border.

🌲

Østerdalen Valley

Expansive views of Norway's longest valley, characterized by deep coniferous forests and the winding Glomma river.

⛰️

Rondane National Park

Aerial perspective of the distinct, ancient, and rounded peaks of Norway's first national park.

🌊

Lake Femunden

A glimpse of one of Norway's largest and most pristine lakes situated near the eastern border.

Choose the left side for softer, diffused light during morning flights. It is particularly scenic during autumn when the birch forests of the eastern valleys turn golden. Keep an eye out for the Glomma river, which serves as a natural guide during the descent toward Gardermoen.
